Monthly Quote

“Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.”

-Alfred, Lord Tennyson, “Ring Out, Wild Bells,” 1809-1892, English Poet

Tip Of The Month

We are now well into winter, and many people have begun to feel the agony of high heating bills. If you are looking for a way to save money without instituting a “sweater rule” in your house, think about installing a programmable thermostat. You can save up to 15% by programming the temperature to be lower at night or when no one is home. Although each degree you lower the heat saves more money, do not swing the temperature more than 6 to 8 degrees, or your furnace will have to work overtime to bring the temperature up again.
